DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0027] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 Describing the spare tire assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the seal 4 seals the spare tire 2 and the spare tire cover 3 to prevent rainwater from falling into the first connecting member 8 and the second connecting member 9 between the spare tire 2 and the spare tire cover 3, causing the connecting members to rust and reduce their strength, and also prevents debris from falling into the wheel hub 21 of the spare tire 2.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 4 A spare tire assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described, comprising: a spare tire 2 , a spare tire cover 3 , a mounting bowl 7 and a sealing member 4 .

[0029] The mounting bowl 7 is detachably connected to the spare tire cover 3 via a first connector 8 , and the spare tire 2 is detachably connected to the side of the mounting bowl 7 away from the spare tire cover 3 via a second connector 9 ; the seal 4 is installed between the spare tire cover 3 and the spare tire 2 .

[0030] In practice, after the edge of the spare tire cover 3 is sealed with the spare tire 2 by the seal 4, the spare tire cover 3 is covered on the wheel hub 21 of the spare tire 2, the spare tire cover 3 is connected to the mounting bowl 7 by the first connecting piece 8, and the mounting bowl 7 is connected to the wheel hub 21 of the spare tire 2 by the second connecting piece 9, which is equivalent to the spare tire cover 3 being connected to the spare tire 2; at the same time, the spare tire cover 3 is also connected to the rear door 1 of the vehicle through the pipe beam 5, at this time the spare tire cover 3 can cover the wheel hub 21 of the spare tire 2 to protect the first connecting piece 8, the second connecting piece 9 and the interior of the wheel hub 21; in addition, after the spare tire cover 3 is connected to the spare tire 2 through the mounting bowl 7, and the spare tire cover 3 is connected to the rear door of the vehicle through the pipe beam 5, it is equivalent to connecting and fixing the spare tire 2 to the rear door of the vehicle through the spare tire cover 3, the pipe beam 5 and the mounting bowl 7, that is, at this time the spare tire cover 3 also has the function of connecting the spare tire 2.

[0031] Furthermore, the first connecting piece 8 connecting the spare tire cover 3 and the mounting bowl 7 and the second connecting piece 9 connecting the mounting bowl 7 and the spare tire 2 are located in the space formed by the spare tire cover 3 and the spare tire 2, and the spare tire cover 3 and the spare tire 2 are sealed by the sealing piece 4, so that rainwater and debris are not easy to enter the interior of the spare tire cover 3, that is, rainwater is not easy to affect the first connecting piece 8, the second connecting piece 9, etc., thereby preventing the first connecting piece 8 and the second connecting piece 9 from rusting and reducing their strength after encountering rainwater.

[0032] Therefore, by providing the seal 4 between the spare tire cover 3 and the spare tire 2, the first connecting member 8 and the second connecting member 9 can be well protected, and rainwater can be prevented from entering the space formed by the spare tire cover 3 and the spare tire 2, thereby causing the first connecting member 8 and the second connecting member 9 to rust and reduce strength. At the same time, the seal 4 between the spare tire cover 3 and the spare tire 2 can also prevent debris from entering the wheel hub 21 of the spare tire 2. If debris enters the wheel hub 21 of the spare tire 2, it will be troublesome to clean the debris when the spare tire 2 is actually used, or if it is not cleaned thoroughly, the friction of the spare tire 2 may be increased during the use of the spare tire 2, thereby damaging the spare tire 2; therefore, preventing debris from entering the wheel hub 21 of the spare tire 2 can reduce the cleaning time and reduce the wear of the spare tire 2 when it is used.

[0033] In some embodiments, the sealing member 4 includes a pressing portion 42 and a clamping portion 41 which are connected to each other. The clamping portion 41 is clamped with the outer peripheral edge of the spare tire cover 3 , and the pressing portion 42 is pressed against the spare tire 2 in a sealing manner.

[0034] In practice, by providing the snap-fit ​​portion 41, the seal 4 and the spare tire cover 3 are reliably connected, and a detachable connection can be achieved; at the same time, after the pressing portion 42 of the seal 4 presses against the spare tire 2, the sealing effect of the seal 4 between the spare tire cover 3 and the spare tire 2 can be improved.

[0035] Specific, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the clamping portion 41 and the pressing portion 42 of the seal 4 are integrally formed, the spare tire cover 3 is constructed as a bowl-shaped structure, the clamping portion 41 of the seal 4 is clamped with the outer peripheral edge of the spare tire cover 3, and the pressing portion 42 is pressed and deformed by the spare tire 2, thereby enhancing the sealing effect of the seal 4; in addition, the seal 4 is detachably connected to the spare tire cover 3 and is in pressing contact with the spare tire 2. When the seal 4 is damaged or deformed, the seal 4 can be conveniently replaced.

[0036] In some embodiments, the clamping portion 41 includes a clamping groove 411 , a first lip 415 is disposed in the clamping groove 411 , and the first lip 415 presses against the outer side and / or inner side of the spare tire cover 3 .

[0037] Among them, the inner wall of the clamping groove 411 is provided with a first lip edge 415. When the edge of the spare tire cover 3 extends into the clamping groove 411, the first lip edge 415 is pressed against the spare tire cover 3, thereby improving the reliability of the clamping of the spare tire cover 3 at the clamping groove 411, that is, improving the clamping force between the first lip edge 415 and the spare tire cover 3 to prevent the spare tire cover 3 from falling out. At the same time, the pressing contact between the first lip edge 415 and the spare tire cover 3 can also improve the sealing of the spare tire cover 3 installed in the clamping groove 411.

[0038] In some embodiments, there are multiple first lip edges 415, and the snap-in groove 411 includes a first side surface 413 and a second side surface 412 that are relatively arranged, and the first side surface 413 and the second side surface 412 are connected by a groove bottom surface 414, and the first side surface 413 and the second side surface 412 are both provided with a first lip edge 415; wherein, among the multiple first lip edges 415, the first lip edge 415 provided on the first side surface 413 is pressed against the inner side surface of the spare tire cover 3, and the first lip edge 415 provided on the second side surface 412 is pressed against the outer side surface of the spare tire cover 3.

[0039] In practice, when the spare tire cover 3 is connected to the snap-in groove 411, a portion of the first lip 415 is snap-fitted to the outer side of the spare tire cover 3, and a portion of the first lip 415 is snap-fitted to the inner side of the spare tire cover 3, so that both the inner side and the outer side of the spare tire cover 3 have a certain snap-in force, further preventing the spare tire cover 3 from escaping from the snap-in groove 411, and making the inner side and the outer side of the edge of the spare tire cover 3 both sealable relative to the seal 4, while the pressing portion 42 on the other side of the seal 4 presses and seals against the spare tire 2, thereby improving the sealing between the spare tire cover 3 and the spare tire 2.

[0040] Reference Figure 3As shown, three first lips 415 are provided, wherein the second side surface 412 is connected to two first lips 415, and the first side surface 413 is connected to one first lip 415, when the edge portion of the spare tire cover 3 extends into the snap-in groove 411, two of the first lips 415 are pressed against the outer side surface of the spare tire cover 3, and one first lip 415 is pressed against the inner side surface of the spare tire cover 3, so that both the inner side surface and the outer side surface of the spare tire cover 3 are pressed, so that the spare tire cover 3 can be more reliably snapped into the snap-in groove 411; moreover, three first lips 415 of the seal 4 in the embodiment of the utility model can reduce the complexity of the structure while satisfying the requirement that the spare tire cover 3 can be reliably snapped into the snap-in groove 411 of the seal 4.

[0041] Of course, the first lip edges 415 of the embodiment of the utility model are not limited to three, and can be set to two, four, five, etc. according to actual conditions while satisfying the reliability of the engagement between the edge of the spare tire cover 3 and the engagement groove 411 of the seal 4.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first lip 415 disposed on the first side surface 413 is inclined along the first side surface 413 toward the groove bottom surface 414 , and the first lip 415 disposed on the second side surface 412 is inclined along the second side surface 412 toward the groove bottom surface 414 .

[0043] That is to say, when the first lip 415 connected to the first side 413 and the first lip 415 connected to the second side 412 are both inclined toward the groove bottom surface 414, at this time, the inclination direction of the first lip 415 is opposite to the direction in which the spare tire cover 3 is removed from the snap-in groove 411. When multiple first lips 415 are pressed against the spare tire cover 3, it is equivalent to that the multiple first lips 415 jointly apply a force to the edge of the spare tire cover 3 toward the groove bottom surface 414, thereby better preventing the spare tire cover 3 from falling out of the seal 4.

[0044] In addition, when multiple first lip edges 415 are all inclined toward the bottom of the snap-in groove 411, when the edge of the spare tire cover 3 is installed in the snap-in groove 411 of the seal 4, the direction in which the spare tire cover 3 approaches the groove bottom surface 414 is consistent with the inclination direction of the first lip edges 415, which makes it more convenient to connect the spare tire cover 3 and the seal 4.

[0045] In some embodiments, the spare tire assembly 100 further includes a support frame 6 , which is disposed in the sealing member 4 and distributed around the snap-in groove 411 .

[0046] In practice, the support frame 6 can prevent the clamping groove 411 from deforming, which is equivalent to strengthening the strength of the clamping groove 411, ensuring the strength of the installation of the clamping groove 411 and the spare tire cover 3, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the seal 4 and the spare tire cover 3. For example, the support frame 6 can be made of metal material and integrally formed with the seal 4, so that the clamping groove 411 can be supported after the seal 4 is formed.

[0047] In some embodiments, the clamping portion 41 includes a second lip 416 , the second lip 416 is connected to the outer side of the clamping portion 41 , and the second lip 416 is pressed against the outer side surface of the spare tire cover 3 .

[0048] Among them, the second lip edge 416 is connected to the outer side of the clamping portion 41, and the second lip edge 416 is pressed against the outer side of the spare tire cover 3, so that the sealing performance between the seal 4 and the spare tire cover 3 is better, and the reliability of the connection between the seal 4 and the spare tire cover 3 can be improved; in addition, the second lip edge 416 is pressed against the outer side surface of the spare tire cover 3 and the pressing portion 42 of the seal 4 is pressed against the spare tire 2, which can also ensure the flatness between the spare tire cover 3 and the spare tire 2.

[0049] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the second lip 416 is constructed as an arc structure, one end of the second lip 416 is connected to the outside of the second side surface 412 of the clamping groove 411 and the other end is pressed against the outer side surface of the spare tire cover 3, and when the second lip 416 is pressed against the outer side surface of the spare tire cover 3, the second lip 416 is deformed, thereby ensuring the reliability and integrity of the connection between the sealing member 4 and the spare tire cover 3. In addition, the thickness of the second lip 416 at one end connected to the second side surface 412 is greater than the thickness of the second lip 416 pressed against the outer side surface of the spare tire cover 3, thereby improving the connection strength between the second lip 416 and the second side surface 412, thereby improving the reliability of the second lip 416 connected to the outside of the clamping groove 411.

[0050] In some embodiments, a hollow bubble tube cavity 421 is provided in the pressing portion 42 , and the pressing portion 42 presses against the spare tire 2 and elastically deforms toward the bubble tube cavity 421 .

[0051] When the pressing portion 42 presses against the spare tire 2, the hollow bubble tube cavity 421 is easily deformed, so that when the pressing portion 42 and the spare tire 2 are compressed, the compression interference amount requirement of the spare tire 2 is met. Figure 3 As shown, the groove bottom surface 414 of the snap-in groove 411 is constructed to be arc-shaped. At this time, the bubble tube cavity 421 is arranged on the pressing portion 42 and is located on the side away from the snap-in groove 411, and an inner wall of the bubble tube cavity 421 is the groove bottom surface 414 of the snap-in groove 411. At this time, when the pressing portion 42 presses against the spare tire 2, the pressing portion 42 elastically deforms toward the bubble tube cavity 421, and the side of the bubble tube cavity 421 away from the spare tire 2 is arc-shaped, which can improve the stability of the pressing portion 42 when being pressed.

[0052] In some embodiments, the pressing portion 42 is further provided with a protruding third lip edge 422 , the third lip edge 422 is located outside the bubble tube cavity 421 , and the third lip edge 422 presses against the spare tire 2 .

[0053] In practice, when the pressing portion 42 is pressed against the spare tire 2, the third lip 422 is in contact with and pressed against the spare tire 2. At this time, the third lip 422 and the bubble tube cavity 421 are both deformed by the pressing. After the deformation, the third lip 422 is completely fitted to the spare tire 2, thereby improving the sealing performance and also improving the smoothness of the appearance after the seal 4 is pressed against the spare tire 2.

[0054] It should also be noted that a plurality of connection parts 31 are provided around the spare tire cover 3, the tubular beam 5 is connected to the connection part 31 of the spare tire cover 3, and the tubular beam 5 is connected to the rear door of the vehicle, and the spare tire cover 3 is connected to the spare tire 2 through the mounting bowl 7, that is, the spare tire cover 3 and the tubular beam 5 can fix the spare tire 2 to the rear door of the vehicle.

[0055] The utility model embodiment also discloses a vehicle, including the above-mentioned spare tire assembly 100, wherein the seal 4 seals the spare tire 2 and the spare tire cover 3 to prevent rainwater from falling into the first connecting member 8 and the second connecting member 9 between the spare tire 2 and the spare tire cover 3, causing the connecting members to rust and reduce their strength, and also prevents debris from falling into the wheel hub 21 of the spare tire 2, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle.
